Mathmos Astro Special Fills
Just a 'heads up' that Mathmos are currently running a 'special fill' vote - finally with some decent options. (Purple/ White) (Pink/White) (Yellow/White) - vote closes on May 17th with the two most popular going on sale between May 24th-27th.Purple/White and Pink/White for me, have wanted these for ages. Also good that there are two 'winners' this time, less chance of disappointment. Anyway, link here... https://fb.watch/s5U1DZP32M/…See More
"I remember hearing about the offset legs a few years ago, had hoped they might have changed it by now, but I guess not.
Seems mad that altering the product itself was considered to be easier than just making a slightly wider box for that model,…"
"Actually, I tell a lie, four lava lamp models, plus I think they still had the portable LED lights, and the Space Projector.
But the ‘cull’ was pretty brutal - glitter balls, metallic Astros (the early ones with the metallic wax),…"
"Some of us still bear the scars or the Mathmos mass product cull of the early ‘00s.
The interesting and diverse product portfolio of the late ‘90s ‘era', overnight reduced to just three models and three colour…"
"White Neo and copper wall sconce also gone. I wonder if the orange is on borrowed time?
Yes, Mathmos do seem to to have an annoying habit of quietly dropping things - strange particularly with it being common practice elsewhere to have some sort of…"
"The Rankin one looks great with the Violet / Turquoise, the Blue / Blue and the Clear / Turquoise bottles."
"When I asked aboutva second bottle the answer was: " We dont have information about the purchase of a second rankin bottle at this time." Well....I dont have information about ever ordering their crap again..."
"Maybe they were having trouble with the bottle coatings but they could have at least given a unique colour for the last one. Easy pass for me either way.
My Rankin arrived today also but its seems to have been manufactured by a blind person. I…"
"As an aside, my blue Rankin edition just arrived and I have to say that I love it.
I'll take pictures at some point, I've literally just plugged it in lol. The "aquamarine" wax is like a more greeny version of the…"
"I actually thought there were six, guess I was wrong!
Given the fact they seemingly have a laser etching machine I kinda expected a whole lot more from these special edition lamps. Hey ho.
A part of me wonders if they had a special bottle…"
"New one is up and it's a pass from me, it's interesting but not £130 interesting:
"Our final limited edition 60th birthday Astro lava lamp is with multi-disciplinary designer Camille Walala. She is known for her ambitious,…"
"Passing on the last one, looks pretty boring and just a regular bottle. "
" I'm surprised this one sold out that fast.
No harm in passing one ones that don’t do it for you. I'm the same, I only buy the ones I like, no point of just getting them for the sake of it. "
